Peter McKinnon here and
today, (clapping) hmmm,

your films, and your videos,
VLOGs, whatever, way better.

I should have probably cut
some B-roll over that intro.

Peter McKinnon here and
today, we're talkin'

about B-roll, what it
is, and how you can use

it to make your footage
and your videos better.

B-roll is alternative,
or supplemental footage

that you can use to cut
on top of your main angle.

to make something more
interesting, to tell

to just cover up the fact
that this is my face rambling

Because let's be honest,
I tend to do that.

So to start, as an example,
I'm gonna use the VLOG.

A lot of VLOGs I start
with a cinematic sort

of tell the mood, portray how I'm feeling

that day, where I am,
what the weather's like,

and it kind of sets the
tone for the episode.

So let's say I'm gonna go do
a photo shoot in a forest.

We're gonna start the VLOG off in my car,

We are outside a really
cool forest right now

let off some smoke, get some cool B-roll,

and yeah, we're gonna
go do that right now.

and go do something else 'cause
it is way too cold outside.

Let's see what that looks
like again using B-roll.

The problem is, I only shot B-roll of us.

Me taking pictures, my
friend taking pictures.

I didn't really give
you enough information.

with the environment
that we're in as well.

Cut those two together,
it's gonna look like this.

Now you can see that we're
taking pictures of this forest.

You can see what we're looking
at when you see footage

of us looking at
something, which just helps

It helps fill in the gaps and it gives you

Well, you can use drone footage,
you can use your iPhone.

So let's see what some drone
footage would look like.

- It looks pretty good but
because this is a VLOG,

I wanna shot footage of
me using the drone as well

because I'm trying to
tell a story of my day.

I'm trying to tell a
story of this photo shoot.

I'm not really giving
you the full picture.
